in thread open undef

Ah ok, that makes sense.

As for the behaviour in the middle case I must say that I consider that to be bug. Your explanation makes sense, but it is a bug nevertheless - would you agree?

    Yes, it's a known bug.

      So do you know if it will be fixed?

      It bit me today when I was consolidating several stand-alone scripts into one script when I forgot to change one occurence of $ARGV[0] and did not get the error I expected.

      Would reporting it again speed up anything?

        It might have been more precise to say "known limitation". I don't know if it's considered a bug. After all, undef was passed.
